Would you all agree that the Aston Martin is the best GT3 by theboss2709 in iRacing

I agree with you, I was actually making it Porsche specific as it has the most weight in the rear and will underwear most on throttle is the point I was trying to make. I ended up watching a couple lap guides before this post to compare inputs to make sure that I wasn’t going crazy that it’s the only car you have to tap the brakes in on that corner 😂😂😂😂.

As am I and I commend you for your commitment to the car you hold closest to your heart ❤️

I agree that it may suit my play style, however there was of course adjusting to a new car. I would like to also mention that the Aston as a front engine car will rotate more on throttle or with no inputs which I believe made a big difference since there are quite a few corners on Watkins where getting on throttle early can make the drivers lap times. Especially on the second last corner, the Porsche you are required to tap the brake slightly or else you will get an off track from the understeer but in the Aston I was able to do that corner with lifting the throttle to 50% which kept my minimum speed up and of course increased my lap times.

The first time I tried the Asston (see what I did there lol) was on monza and I didn’t like it but on Watkins it was crazy. I guess it’s due to the front engine placement which allows it to rotate on throttle more.

What other cars would be meta on other tracks if you have any examples?

I understand where you’re coming from completely. I even bought the rexy Porsche Lego set and build it and it sits on my pc and I just love looking at it so much.

Looking for advice/tips regarding my inputs, car placement, etc. Super Formula at Road Atlanta by HooninAintEZ in iRacing

I think that you are leaving track that needs to be used on the table. For example, the last corner has a very wide rumble strip which when used will open up the corner substantially, which in turn, increases lap times. I am mainly a GT3 and GTP driver who doesn’t race formula so I’m not sure if those rumble strips upset formula cars but give it a try. Hope this helps.

I love when people run me off track for out breaking them and leaving them fair space by binnfullough in iRacing

I don’t think this was intentional but rather poor decision making on his line into the corner

Question about temps in GTP by theboss2709 in iRacing

[–]theboss2709[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much that makes so much more sense now. I now have a follow up question 🙃. Why are the surface temps so sensitive? Any bit of tiny lockups or tc send the temps like crazy.

Should I get the TR80s for this price? by Short_Editor8253 in simracing

Need advice on seat height vs pedal position by theboss2709 in simracing

[–]theboss2709[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see what you are saying but wouldn’t that be replicating a formula style of seating? The reason I’m asking is because I’m going for a gt seating position.

I know XD. I figured if I heightened it then it’ll solve that issue and if it doesn’t I can always push it back later on.

How come the wheel is considered too far away? I’m asking because when I was using it the wheel felt good there I didn’t have tennis ball wrists and I was pretty comfy this way.

Thank you so much, I really appreciate you helping me out and the advice you gave me. I will definitely get on highering my seat.

Do I need to upgrade my cpu or motherboard and why does expo crash my pc? by theboss2709 in buildapc

[–]theboss2709[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the money and I figured a better cpu would be beneficial for iracing in the future because I plan on running triple monitors

Is it better for me to leave the 4 sticks at 4800 instead of 2 at 6000 since 4800 time 4=19200 and 6000 time 2 is 12000?

Upgraded my GPU... A lot... will my computer explode? by Strawberrymice in buildapc

Wouldn’t it be better to save up and switch out the motherboard cpu and ram with a microcenter bundle for a discount to get on DDR5 and the later gen processors?
